Dr Bhavesh Raithatha

Written by a private patient at Spire Leicester Hospital

I could not recommend Dr Raithatha more. I’ve had a consistent migraine for over a year and was not getting along with any of the medication and honestly was struggling to get someone to take me seriously. Dr Raithatha was the first doctor to take me seriously and genuinely want to help and that in itself was more of a comfort than I can explain. He explained my options , giving me the tools I needed to understand what treatments there were while letting me choose. We tried the Botox injections which I know help so many others but did not work for me. He went out of his way to find me medication that had results and was also affordable. The medication he found for me has changed my life and made living with this so much more manageable. The worst symptoms have gone and I know I couldn’t have reached this space both physically and mentally had he not helped me through the whole process. It makes a world of a difference to have a doctor that is determined to help you.

I have a rare and highly complex medical condition that causes many other issues and, in general, I never feel cared for by doctors, and I never feel listened to. That all changed when Dr Raithatha became my pain specialist. I cannot thank him enough for the effort that he is putting into working with me to find solutions for my pain. I feel heard and I feel confident in his expertise. Unlike other doctors, he never patronises me or ignores me, and he is genuinely a delight to speak with. It's so nice to have a specialist who is optimistic around me and who understands helping to ease my type of pain means that a layered approach to medication is required. Thank you so very much for all you have done for me so far! I have a renewed sense of hope moving forward and I already feel that I have some quality of life back.

Dr Raithatha has been amazingly patient and caring throughout, he is my pain consultant through the NHS and I am also using his services in his private capacity for treatments not currently available on the NHS. He has provided me with helpful advice, support and treatments for the past 2 years. He actually listened to me and did not disregard my condition/s and pain like so many other consultants have done in the past (I quote a previous pain consultant - "There is no cure so you'll just have to learn to live with it!"). I have suffered for some 20+ years and seen many clinicians. He has been key to helping me improve my day to day living using new treatments now available and I thank him for his diligence, care and attention. Most appreciated, I would fully recommend him.

I have seen or spoken to Dr Raithatha on various occasions as he is part of the Pancreatic Team where I am reviewed. As I have other issues from a pain management prospective it is essential that the Dr who is treating me has both an understanding of my past and present medical issues to be able to treat me effectively. It is clear from speaking to him that he not only understands issues that patients face as regards long term chronic pain but his caring and concern for his patient is very evident in his communication skills which are exceptional. He goes the extra mile to give that extra health. What is also refreshing about Dr Raithatha is that he is willing to work in partnership with the patient to discuss different perspectives of pain and it’s management to see what works and what needs to be reviewed. You have to be a special doctor to treat long term chronic pain and I believe he has all he qualities and skills to do this. I think any patient is fortunate to be treated by him
